The argument for Guantanamo is that some of its detainees cant be prosecuted and they shouldnt be freed. Theyve got to be left in limbo for a long, long time, James Pinkerton of the New America Foundation explains.

Rather odd phenomenon, don’t you think?
Conservative Watchdog, my insults were hardly lackluster attempts. Please give me credit. The imagery is hilarious… almost as hilarious as Newt’s attempts to resurrect his pathetic career with silly committee meetings and stupid documentaries about Mount Vernon.

Rubio actually held a responsible position in Florida as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives. He wasn’t a mere community organizer.

The governor of Louisana is a Brown skin man of East Indian roots named Bobby Jindal. He managed to win a whopping 75% of the White vote in Louisiana. Why would a racist White person vote for a politician with Brown pigmentation ?

The Nation – The Nation — Forget trumping Trump with the long-form birth certificate, President Obama’s Sunday night  announcement that he had ordered a successful mission to kill Osama bin Laden was a political coup that will yield him benefits for months, perhaps years, to come.

The Christian Science Monitor – The candidates for president in next yearâ??s election are maneuvering for position as the inevitable winnowing and bankroll-building accelerates.

I’ve been saying that Huckabee is solid for about 6 weeks, when I first started following the race. Now he’s in second in the polls. Who else saw this coming?
Coates, that was almost exactly my thoughts. Make a strong showing in Iowa, and he has a chance.

From this lib story:

http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/2011/02/12/black-history-month-is-herman-cain-playing-the-race-minstrel-for-cpac/

In the immortal words of Megatron in Transformers: The Movie, Herman Cain’s speech at CPAC really is bad comedy. As you know, I find black garbage pail kids black conservatives fascinating not because of what they believe, but rather because of how they entertain and perform for their White Conservative masters.

When race minstrelsy was America’s most popular form of mass entertainment, black actors would often have to pretend to be white men, who then in turn would put on the cork to play the role of the “black” coon, Sambo, or Jumping Jim Crow. Adding insult to injury, in a truly perverse and twisted example of the power of American white supremacy black vaudevillians would often pretend to be white in order to denigrate black people for the pleasures of the white gaze.

Herman Cain–an ironic name if ever, and one more suited to a tragic figure in a Harlem Renaissance era novella–is not “blackening twice” as some race minstrels chose to do.

[Unfortunately, the attendees at CPAC are not the butt of some type of joke where the white man wearing the cork is really a black man in secret.]

Instead, Herman Cain’s shtick is a version of race minstrelsy where he performs “authentic negritude” as wish fulfillment for White Conservative fantasies. Like the fountain at Lourdes, Cain in his designated role as black Conservative mascot, absolves the White racial reactionaries at CPAC of their sins. This is a refined performance that Black Conservatives have perfected over many decades and centuries of practice.

Let’s consider the routine. First, Cain enters the stage to Motown music. Then Cain feigns swimming after rolling up his sleeves to show them his black skin and how he is a hardworking negro (not like those other ones). Cain bellows in a preacher affected voice and channels the folksy negro down home accent of his late grandpappy. In the money shot, Cain gives the obligatory “black folks who are not Republicans are on the plantation” speech to the joyous applause of his White benefactors. And he doubles down by legitimating any opposition to President Barack Obama as virtuous and patriotic regardless of the bigoted well-springs from which it may flow.

In total, CPAC is a carnival and a roadshow for reactionary Conservatives. It is only fitting that in the great tradition of the freak show, the human zoo, the boardwalk, and the great midway world’s fairs of the 19th and 20th centuries, that there is a Borneo man, a Venus Hottentot or a tribe of cannibals from deepest darkest Africa or Papua New Guinea on display. For CPAC and the White Conservative imagination, Herman Cain and his black and brown kin are that featured attraction.

We always need a monkey in the window, for he/she reminds us of our humanity while simultaneously reinforcing a sense of our own superiority. Sadly, there are always folks who are willing to play that role because it pays so well.

I asked a question before about which Halloween costume I should be. I decided to go with Sarah Palin. I have everything except for hair. Is there wigs you can buy cheap? My hair color is brown with blonde highlights. Do you think I can pull it off? Thanks for your help!
